Portrait avec fissure 2

This photograph is part of a series entitled «Mes petits Italies». I love this country where I try to go regularly. I take many more photographs in the idea of collecting a material images than to realize the beautiful picture. In a second time, I work this material to compose imaginary landscapes that integrate elements absent to the shot. These photographs, sometimes at the limit of the painting are drawn in 20 ex, numbered and signed by the author. Print on high quality baryta paper. Price: 320 euros

Helgorsky

Photographer videographer for many years, I parallel to orders, a personal work that takes as material as the digital as the polaroid. Walking is a constant that serves as a source of inspiration for creating imaginary landscapes. I am also very interested in people who, through their presence and mobility, give life to space. The theme of people comes up regularly in my work.

Born in Paris in 1952, Francis Helgorsky has lived and worked in Dauphiné since November 1987. Since 1992, photography has become his main activity. He works primarily on the relationship between man and territory related to notions of time, space and memory. Since 2003, he has been conducting a reflection on the rural and urban world (village identity, periurbanity ...) and carries out projects, some of which are in cross-view with the populations concerned. Photography is then approached as a constructive medium for a relationship, and artistic creation as a means of interrogation, exchange, on mutually changing territories. Since 1996 he has collaborated regularly with writers (André du Bouchet, Jean Pierre Chambon, Sylvie Fabre G., Jean Gabriel Cosculluela, Antoine Choplin, Andrée Chédid and Bernard Weber). Parallel to orders (Andains, Balcony on courtyard, Landscape in gardens, Hors champ, and the artists under the tent, Accrochage / Décrochages, ...) And in his personal work, since 1992 he has directed art / School districts, sensitive neighborhoods, specialized hospitals, etc.). Since 2000, Francis Helgorsky teaches photography at Stendhal University in Grenoble. In 2002, he created with Denis Michel, teacher, the association Ecoute Voir which proposes to develop projects of artists related to amateur practices in rural and urban environment. This one proposes to carry the word of the people and to create with them the present memories of the invested territories. In his projects, Francis Helgorsky invites the inhabitant of all ages to be an actor by experimenting with photography and video as a possible writing of the world, to participate in the conception of the work restored to the public.
